Alexandra Allston was one of two Parasites created by Ruin. She and her brother Alex wanted to seek vengeance on the people who made their lives difficult.

History

After some experimentation by the villain Ruin, Alexandra and her brother Alex were turned into two new Parasites - one purple and the other green. During a fight with Superman after he had armored up to prevent the Parasites from absorbing more of his power, a civilian was almost killed by Alexandra, which Alex did not approve of. After attempting to escape from a meta-human prison, Alex was killed by an OMAC, while Alexandra escaped and joined the Secret Society of Super-Villains under Lex Luthor.
